Prince - Dear Mr. Man Lyrics






What's wrong with the world 2day?
Things just got 2 get better
Show me what the leaders say
Maybe we should write a letter

Said Dear Mr. Man, we don't understand
Why poor people keep struggling but U don't lend a helping hand
Matthew 5:5 say "The meek shall inherit the earth"
We wanna b down that way
but U been trippin since the day of your birth

Who said that 2 kill is a sin
Then started every single war that Ur people been in?
Who said that water is a precious commodity
Then dropped a big old black oil slick in the deep blue sea?

Who told me, Mr. Man, that working round the clock
would buy me a big housed in the hood
Cigarette ads on every block
Who told me, Mr. Man, that Eye got a right 2 moan?
How about this bog old hole in the ozone?

What's wrong with the world 2day
Things just got 2 get better
Dear Mr. Man, we don't understand
Maybe we should write a letter

Listen, Ain't no sense in voting - same song with a different name
Might not b in the back of the bus but it sure feel just the same
Ain't nothing fair about welfare
Ain't no assistance in AIDS
We ain't that affirmative about your actions until the people get paid

Ur thousand years r up
Now U got 2 share the land
Section 1 - the 14th amendment says "No state shall deprive any person of life,
liberty, or property, without due process of law"
Mr. Man, we want 2 end this letter with 3 words
We tired a-y'all

    This song should been playing on all the radio stations. This could have earned a Grammy.

    Truth is not always liked.

  5. N.... D....

    i respect a man who writes and produces his own records.

  6. M.... ....

    The only sermon that makes SENSE. Tell the truth Prince

  7. N.... N....

    Remind me again how he died ? 🤔

    N.... N....

    @Nawal_ N_Heaven What's hard 2 believe is that Prince fans believe fake news that overdose stuff is fake news he did not take 7,000 plus pills cuz that the equivalent of how much Fentanyl was in his system

    N.... N....

    He is still alive to me

    N.... N....

    Opioid overdose, painkiller overdose. Died at age 57

    N.... N....

    If you wanna know the truth there’s a mysterious song by the band, The Police, called Murder by Numbers. A song about how the elite murders for sport. Song was released in 83. In the same year Prince made a song called “I Would Die 4 U”, think about “4U”. U is the 21st letter in the alphabet. 4U =4/21 which is the day he died on 30 years later after he released another song titled “Sometimes it Snows in April”, in 1986. If Prince is dead, he did not die organically, no celebs do.

    N.... N....

    @eyeseer1 I don't believe that all.
